The FOIA letter stating he has never served is now up loaded
*************************************

Allow me to introduce you to Randle Curtis Conrad, or just Randle Conrad. Mr Conrad claims to be a former military officer. I found his picture here on Rallypoint. I couldn’t help to find it a bit odd. It doesn’t look right. I am by no means am I that guy from Taken but I have some talents that aid me in such situations. So if you look at the pic of 1LT Christopher S. Goeke you will see the similarities. The details in the flag and a few other things such as the facial features. But the cropping and photo shop is evident.

If anyone lives at Westminster, CO, you may know him. That is where he lives according to his tax records and his voter information.

As you may have figured out I take this very seriously. I don’t have any sympathy for someone that takes valor from a soldier that was killed in combat. That is the lowest of lows. I hope his employer finds out. I wish I was able to find that info but I am still digging.

The latest pic is one of his posts from last month. So he has two CIBs. Well one issue is that he was an MP company commander at the time. Yeah, his story makes no sense.

SSgt Terry P. - Once you are a member you make your own profile like FB. I have even seen a guy here that has a "Pew Professional" certification he got in 2003. He was infantry so I really didn't question it as it was humor more than anything else.

CPT Russell Pitre - Thank you,CPT, i was under the false impression it had to be accurate and verifiable.I edited my own profile to be more understandable to others since the rank was from 2 different branches.

Definite photo-shopped pic and profile does not add up at all! I sent a link, via email, to his profile on Rallypoint to a Stolen Valor contact. Will let you know if he finds out anything.

He is a fake. According to his profile in 1983 he was in the 508th BSTB. Not possible, did not exist in 1983. If it had been correct, he would have been assigned to one of the following: the 21st Chemical Company (under DISCOM), the 1/508th PIR (3rd Bde), or the 2/508th PIR (1st Bde). I can tell you from personal experience that he was not with the 2/508th. The 21st Chemical Company did not go to Grenada, so that leaves the possibility of the 1/508th PIR, but I seriously doubt if he was assigned to them. We could also check with CPT Aaron Lee here on RP since he was an EM in the 3/75th and I am sure would know about that duty being faked. This poser needs to be booted. Another point - There is absolutely no way that he could have had an assignment to any of the Ranger Bns before attending Ranger School as indicated in that profile.

PO3 Sandra Gomke, I do not need to check with the Ranger Regiment to know that this individual did not go to Ranger School. Also the 75th Ranger Regiment is not the one that keeps the records that you are referring too unless things have changed since I retired; it would be the "Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade" that keeps those records in the auspices of the Ranger School Headquarters Operations and Training Section. Especially since the ARTB falls under TRADOC and not FORSCOM which the 75th Ranger Regiment does fall under.
And as stated in my statement, I know that this individual is a fraud and a liar, because I personally was where he stated he was and know that what he stated is not possible.

Thank you for that clarification. The service member I spoke to at the 75th had looked Conrad up in the records and found no tab had been issued. FOIA request came up negative for military service.

101st Sustainment Brigade, to my knowledge, was never flagged until 2004. Prior to that, there were HHCs etc, but not an actual brigade. Right off the bat, that looks very suspicious.

When reviewing his photoshopped picture, along with his BS timeline...his professional summary wreaks of more BS.

"After several great years in the U.S Army, I made the decision to leave, as my then wife expressed to me that she wasn't cut out to be a SOCOM officer's wife. After years of mediocre jobs, and a divorce, my hard work and advanced education began to pay off, and I've been moving forward ever since. Serving in the Ranger Battalions taught me how to be a leader, and it has set the tone for my life."

LOL! "Wasn't cut out to be a SOCOM officers wife." That is rich. I can't say I have ever heard that one ever.

Well if found by the powers to be as fake he should be barred, kicked out, and we move on. Stolen Valor is about claiming awards and recognition that you did not earn. Not sure this quite fits

Well, this guy took a picture of a soldier that was killed in combat and is claiming that photo is his. If someone was actually in the military they wouldn't have to photoshop a photo to claim they served.

If this guy got his current job or any other employment or benefits from lying about serving, then it's definite Stolen Valor.
